I hail from Africa
Where most people live in hunger
Because of unemployment rate
They suffer.
I hail from Africa.
Where lots of children are orphans
Eating food that is already rotten.

I hail from Africa.
Where my ancestors were once slaves
Having no place to stay
They slept in the caves.
I hail from Africa.
Where we gather every night
Singing the same song
Getting along
Hoping things will be alright.
I’m proud of who I am.
I’M an African.
A proudly South African.
